The message of KARMA or action was first given by
Lord Krishna on the morning of the epic battle
Mahabharatha between the forces of Good and
Evil. Lord Krishna stood on the side of the Good,
but, was not permitted to use any weapon so He
preferred to be the charioteer to Arjuna whom He
treated as a close friend.

ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE FRUIT OF ACTION
IF GOOD WE FEEL HAPPY AND ELATED IF BAD WE
FEEL SAD AND DEJECTED THESE EMOTIONAL RESPONSES
SET OFF FURTHER DESIRES AND IMPULSES WHICH RESULT
IN MORE ACTION WITH THE INHERENT CONSEQUENTIAL
FRUIT THIS IS A CHAIN REACTION DESIRES AND
IMPULSES REMAIN WITH US EVEN AFTER WE DEPART FROM
THE BODY AND UNFULFILLED DESIRES CAN LEAD US TO
REPEATED BIRTHS AND RE-BIRTHS.

  IT.

  EXECUTE THE ACTION HAS TO BE CHOOSEN BY MAN
